The unholy alliance of the Mega-Egos-Diepresse.com

Donald Trump originally thought that in his second term he only has to deal with autocrats from the hit of a Vladimir Putin with which he can quickly become a trade – if not within 24 hours, so in a few weeks or months. This has already proven to be a fatal fallacy during the tough conversations for an armistice in the Ukraine War.

With Elon Musk at his side, a brilliant, at the same time erratic tech billionaire with almost inexhaustible resources, the sky would not even be the limit. This was the second premise of the Trump Presidency: a combination of political power and economic power that would overcome all bureaucratic hurdles in the United States and leave the geopolitical rivals behind in Beijing. According to the omnipotence fantasy that are preparing, two makers and machos to change the world hand in hand.

From the co-president to rival

Almost 140 days after taking office in the White House, this expectation also bursts like a dazzling soap bubble. After the break with his short-term « Best Buddy » Musk, initially written up as co-president, Donald Trump could grow up a rival that has over 220 million followers as the master and master of platform X-a not inconsiderable part of it. Elon Musk goes without saying that the medium skillfully used as a propaganda trainer. He demonstrated this with his commitment to the AfD in the election campaign in Germany.

Now Trump has to bring about a ceasefire with Musk, he does not want to risk a small war and uncomfortable revelations from the shadow realm of power. A power that he has willingly gave his colleague as a pioneer against bureaucracy – with a flimsy legal basis, past the powers of the congress.

Does Trump switch on the judiciary?

As President, he could be tried to rush the judiciary on his neck because of drug abuse or economic conflicts of interest; He could also withdraw government orders, possibly put him in prison or refer him to the country. So this would handle Vladimir Putin. And a US president who has no shyness from unfair means?

The fact that Just Russia is a mediator in the Clash of the Mega-Egos in Washington is the discharge of Häme and Sarkasm, as the Kremlin Kamarilla has brought it to perfection since the war of aggressiveness. But how can you react differently than with satire to the news that Donald Trump wants to get rid of the red Tesla that he has acquired as a friendship service?

Without legitimation through a choice

The unholy alliance between Trump and Musk, between the populist « Maga » movement and libertarian high-tech scene, whose bosses and adorants were pilgrimed into the capitol for the engagement of Trump, was doomed to fail. No prophecy was needed. When harmony was announced at first, the broken lines between the alpha animals have come to light. The feud between Trump and Musk is an example that tech billionaires are not necessarily suitable for politics-with a tendency to disregard democracy and on top of that without legitimation through an choice.
